Bottom Line

The Match is Mephisto's top-selling walking shoe for a reason. They're pricier than many other shoes, but they also seem to last much, much longer.

Pros

Comes in black full-grain leather, dark brown and camel nubuck, navy nubuck, and tan full-grain leather at Zappos. Amazon offers a variety of colors. Leather lining. Anatomically correct construction for support when walking. Fine latex foam outsole, air-cushioned sole.

Cons

Outsoles are a little slippery at first. Heavy.

Dressy enough for work, casual enough for jeans, this classic loafer will take you anywhere, all day long, in comfort and style.

Bottom Line

While some customers love these shoes, others say they start coming apart within months. If you are feeling sticker shock, the Shark sandal might be a safer choice.

Pros

Water-repellent leather uppers are perfect for boat shoes. Genuine moccasin stitching and side lacing. Comes in several colors. Leather lining and leather-covered padded footbed with arch support. Padded tongue. Razor-cut traction bottom for grip and water removal.

Cons

May run wide. Some customers say the shoe soles came apart much sooner than expected.

Bottom Line

A comfortable walking shoe, though not in the same league as the Match.

Pros

Well-constructed and comfortable, with a fashion-forward edge. Comes in a variety of colors. Leather upper with lace-up closure. Leather lining. Leather-covered Air-Jet cushion insole. Durable rubber outsole.

Cons

Squeaks when you walk. Not as much support as other Mephisto styles.

Mephisto shoes provide a unique blend of comfort and design that is rare to find in another casual shoe brand. They are especially well geared for walking, buttressed by an innovative soft-air technology in the midsole that is designed to protect your joints from the shock of hard surfaces. Every pair of mephisto shoes is handmade and contains all-natural materials such as cork and natural rubber along with very fine high-quality leather. You’d be hard pressed to find another line of shoes that will give you the same combination of elegance and practicality at this price point.
